On the next episode of The Carlos Brown Show, Carlos is joined by co-host Charles Edmond, Coach Vann Pettaway, and A.D. Wheeler Brown, with special guest Kedric Taylor, for a jam-packed conversation filled with major headlines and HBCU excellence. The crew reacts to Southern University officially hiring Marshall Faulk, recaps South Carolina State capturing the 10th Annual C.B., and celebrates the Human Jukebox winning the HBCU National Band Contest. Plus, they wrap things up with the latest from around the conference in the SWAC Basketball Report. Insight, impact, and Jaguar pride take center stage

In this episode, Randall and Arielle react to the 4OT Celebration Bowl Classic where Chennis Berry and South Carolina State emerged victorious over Tremaine Jackson and Prairie Vie A&M. They break down the game and discuss if the Bulldog's win is indicative of how they'll compete next year. Later, Randall & Arielle do a deep dive into Chennis Berry's comments following his Celebration Bowl victory. In his comments, he called out a lack of attention for him and other non-celebrity coaches as opposed to Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson doing the MEAC Coaches Calls. Randall uses the comments to speak about a situation where he received criticism for posting a graphic about DeSean Jackson and Delaware State first before a graphic about Chennis Berry winning the MEAC Championship. The duo then give a broad overview of the HBCU media space, why there's a huge focus on the former NFL players turned coaches and possible solutions. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

#HBCUFootball #HBCUGameday #CelebrationBowlFootball season may be over on the field, but the HBCU football offseason is just getting started.In this episode of HBCU Gameday, the crew breaks down the latest headlines shaping the landscape of Black college football, including eight head coaching vacancies, major contract news, record-setting TV viewership, and a key quarterback entering the transfer portal.

What does it really take to stand between billion-dollar owners and the most elite athletes in the world?On this powerful episode of the Black in Sports Podcast, we sit down with DeMaurice Smith, former Executive Director of the NFL Players Association, for an unfiltered conversation about leadership, leverage, and legacy at the highest level of professional sports.In 2009, DeMaurice Smith was unanimously voted to lead the NFLPA—stepping into one of the most influential and high-pressure roles in sports business. Over a 14-year tenure, he became one of the most consequential labor leaders in modern sports history, navigating collective bargaining agreements, player safety battles, revenue sharing, health benefits, and guaranteed contracts, all while protecting the interests of NFL players in a system built on power and profit.We dive deep into:

There's a new recruitment opportunity at Health and Human Services. The agency has just launched the Roy Wilkins Fellowship. It's reserved for students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, or HBCUs, who are interested in public service. Many of HHS's divisions will host career fairs to promote the new fellowship, including the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The opportunity comes in response to an executive order President Trump signed in April, on promoting innovation at HBCU's.

On this episode I'm joined by Bisa Butler. We discuss her pivot from painting to quilting, what it was like for her to study at an HBCU, she earned her BFA in Painting at Howard University, how that experience shaped her and what she hopes her work does in the world.

In this episode, Randall Barnes reports on the shooting at Kentucky State University last Tuesday, the charges in the hazing death of Caleb Wilson, and the Trump Administration's dismantling of the SAVE Plan. Randall also dives deep into HBCU Sports, including recapping the 4 overtime classic that was the Cricket Celebration owl and calls out the elitism of some Division I HBCU football fans in how they discuss Division II HBCU football, as the Celebration Bowl featured two former Division II coaches.

In this episode, we open with a vibrant discussion on music and culture, starting with a playful but honest debate: Were Swizz Beatz's songs actually good? From there, we explore which producers crafted the most classic sounds of the early 2000s and share our dream collaborators from that era—a nostalgic look at when hip-hop production was evolving fast.
We then shift into the latest headlines: - 2 Chainz's son lands a sneaker deal, sparking a conversation around generational wealth and brand building. - Kim Kardashian dressing as Kendrick Lamar—is it homage, marketing, or crossing into culture vulture territory? Entertainment Industry & Power Conversations This episode's centerpiece is a deep, unfiltered breakdown of the Diddy documentary, The Reckoning. We unpack the allegations, the industry structures that enabled them, and what accountability truly looks like in entertainment.
That leads into a provocative hypothetical: Who would you rather sign with—Suge Knight or Diddy? We dissect the risks, rewards, and reputations surrounding two of the most controversial power brokers in music history. We also tackle the question: When does cosmetic surgery cross the line into “too much”? A real conversation about body image, pressure, and authenticity in the public eye. Streaming, Business & Media Moves
Big corporate news this week as we discuss the Warner Brothers + Netflix acquisition and what it means for the future of content, intellectual property, and consolidation.
We also debate the longtime cultural question: Did Netflix kill movie theaters—or did sky-high ticket prices do the real damage? A breakdown of consumer behavior, economics, and changing viewing habits. Sports News Rundown We cover a series of major sports updates: The growing conversation around coaches and background checks—what responsibility do leagues have, and are current systems enough? Chris Paul's release from the Clippers, what it signals for his legacy, and potential landing spots.
A celebration of PVAMU winning the SWAC, and what this means for HBCU athletics. Closing: Real-Life Reflections We wrap with a raw and thoughtful discussion: When family cuts ties, is it wrong? A conversation about boundaries, healing, and redefining relationships as adults.

We dive into the two largest HBCU programs in Florida and discuss what they meant to civil rights and African-American athletes in the state.

This week's session with Dr. Greg Carr and Professor Karen Hunter comes live from the 10th annual Celebration Bowl HBCU National Football Championship and Band of the Year Competition. These are Governance formation rituals where Ways of Knowing, Cultural Meaning-Making and Movement and Memory imprint our future. Against an increasingly desperate death rattle of US White Nationalism fed by intensifying media disruption and institutional assault, these Governance formations become both refuge and resistance: Bodies in formation, convening as instruction, institutions as anchors. Memory need not drift—it can advance, step by step, propelled by Sankofa and teaching us who we are and must yet be to and for each other and the world.Are you a member of Knarrative?

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Kenda Saldana, author of the book Shades Between Reality and the Dream. Kendra Saldana is an author of literary fiction who likes to joke about being born and raised in the South Bronx but civilized by attending college in Virginia.  Specifically, Norfolk State University.  She admits to being a college dropout like Kanye West.  Yet, Kendra credits those years spent studying journalism at the HBCU as essential to honing her craft and writing style.  She loves character-driven stories that connect to the readers so strongly they become flesh and blood.  Shades Between Reality and the Dream is Kendra's first novel.   In my book review, I stated Shades Between Reality and Dream is a romance by Kendra Saldana. However, it isn't just any romance. Instead, we are thrust into the social divides of racism and classism and what happens when men and women refuse to stay within the confines of these borders.   This is a wonderful multigenerational story that explores racism and classism from the 1950s to present day - and gives the reader a glimpse into lives that may be quite unlike their own. We start with a wealthy white man who has a child with a black servant. Is it love? We move to his child - who although half black, can pass as a white man. Will he? Should he? Does he? And then there is the socialite who marries beneath her station. Does her new husband want help of his newly acquired family? Do they give it willingly? Can the two find a way to bridge the divide? And then it comes full circle as these two families collide.   Throughout the book, the reader faces prejudice on all sides and must start looking at their own life and feelings to determine where they fit in the puzzle. I suspect that is exactly what Kendra was hoping to achieve. It is a beautiful love story - with all the ups and downs. But more importantly, it is a social commentary. Don't miss this one!   Author Note: There is quite a bit of sexual content in this book. Skipping over these scenes does not substantially change the book.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Kenda Saldana IG: @bxfuerte FB: @bxwriter   Purchase Shades Between Reality and the Dream on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4nPIbS1 Ebook: https://amzn.to/4hU67CL   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?
